I know that my Great Uncle told me some very important tales when I sat on his lap at about age 12. <br />I agree with the lack of easy of a story and documentation. I truly think a story should stand and documentation should be added at the end so that people know it wasn&#39;t all made up. Flow is so important to keep a reader interested.Susi's Quarterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00722985357289434741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641105711412662630.post-3880898787425934522012-04-29T22:04:30.064-07:002012-04-29T22:04:30.064-07:00I don&#39;t really think writing books has changed...I don&#39;t really think writing books has changed much in the last fifty years. Vocabulary has evolved, and typing/word processing. But, story wise it seems pretty much the same. <br /><br />As a certified hypnotist, I&#39;m sure you could remember old stories under hypnosis. You can try self hypnosis pretty easily and see what happens. <br /><br />Whenever I write up family history, it is a struggle to keep all the evidence and still keep the story readable. Wish it was easier for me. <br /><br />Good luck with your projects. And rest assured your efforts will be appreciated. My grandmother had a 1st cousin who wrote her memoirs, they aren&#39;t well organized and sort seems unfinished, but she wrote them for her grandchildren. She probably never thought that people like me (and my cousins) would be so interested in what she recalled about her life, and her grandparents. But, we do!Maryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06215753203573829791noreply@blogger.com
